princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Northwestern Wildcats, Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
